In recent months, there’s been reports of Offset spending time in casinos. A viral video showed Celina Powell laid up with Offset in what looked like a hotel room in January. Days later, Powell accused the rapper of owing her $15,000 and threatening her “almost every day” over it. “If anything happens to me OFFSET did it,” she wrote on Instagram Stories. Not long after, the internet reacted to the former Migos rapper when footage circulated of him and Bobby Shmurda in a casino, with ‘Set wearing a Hard Rock Casino hoodie.

Recently, Quavo appeared to be vacationing in Brazil, as he’s shared visuals in the South American country on his profile.
Leading up to and after Takeoff’s passing, there were reports of tension between Offset and Quavo, though they seemed to eventually reconcile. In 2024, for example, Quavo posted about a “good convo” he had shared with his “bro,” tagging ‘Set.
Also, last year, ‘Set clarified that his and Quavo’s fallout didn’t have anything to do with the ex-girlfriend, Saweetie or a secret affair. Those rumors, he said, were an attempt to “tear”down his situation, likely referring to his failed marriage to the mother of his three youngest kids.
“No, man. It was a rumor, man,” Offset told Keke Palmer in an interview. And I feel like it was something deeper than that for the split of me and bro.”
